Largemouth BassTechniqueDrop ShotSeasonSummerStructureHumpsUsing good mapping of the lake and your electronics to find rocky humps. I've caught good size largemouth around the rock structures using a 5" wacky rigged senko on a dropshot. I like to use an Arsenal Fishing silicone band when hooking wacky still with this presentation, helps keep the worm positioned right. Dragging the dropshot will result in some big fish!

Tournament to end the season on Tetonka Sakatah was a lot more fun that I thought it would be. We fished all three lakes mainly targeting the thickest vegetation we could find. Grass was just starting to die off with the abnormally warm temps this year. Key with the frog was working it really really slowly. Missed a lot of fish too. Went back through the best areas with a punch rig and cleaned up some of those misses. Also got a lot of fish junk fishing wood and docks with the 3/8 oz All Terrain jig.

Fish docks and transitions. Brand new boat launch 9/3/22. It's awesome but there is a lot of foil. Caught at 3.5 largie this morning.

Early morning water temps were 57-58 degrees very slow. As water temps rose with sun warming the males started moving up into the shallows. Wacky rig was the ticket

Morning water temps from 56-58 turned fish off and off of the beds. Weed flats had empty beds and fish were nowhere to be found. Once shallow water temps reached 65-66 midday fish slowly made their way to once empty beds. Wacky rigged Berkley General cast over beds triggered bites. Bedded fish were very aggressive as long as not immediately spooked. If spooked, return to the bed after 10-15 minutes and bites are easily triggered. I broke off a fish, returned about 20 minutes and was able to catch the same fish and retrieve the broke off hook. Spawn seems to just be kicking off, later in the day will produce better once temps hit 65+.

Water temp was 60-62, bass were mostly shallow near laydowns and docks but also found a mixed bag of walleye, bass, and pike on the outside weed edges. Wacky rigged Senkos caught most of the bigger fish, but caught a few throwing the Owner flashy swimmer with a Keitech over the tops of the thick curly leaf pondweed. As always, ned rigs caught fish too, though most were smaller. Surprisingly few fish on jerkbaits and chatterbaits.

Spawn is at 60ish degree water. These two lakes are about a week later than other lakes due to being part of the Cannon River. If you are able to do it, make your way through the thick weed line until you are able to cast to shore along the overhanging treeline that surrounds Tetonka and Sakatah. Pop your frog and smash bass. You'll find 16" to 21"ers.
